If there is a castle that comes close to matching Harlech Castle in historical importance, that castle is surely Chepstow. Chepstow is a Norman castle perched high above the banks of the river Wye in southeast Wales. Construction began at Chepstow in 1067, less than a year after William the Conqueror was crowned King of England. It was his master castle builder in the person of his loyal Norman lord William FitzOsbern. FitzOsbern's fortresses were the vehicles from which the new king consolidated control of his newly conquered lands. Chepstow Castle became the key launching point for expeditions into Wales, expeditions that eventually subdued the rebellious population.

One of boxing's more interesting title fights: Reigning world middleweight champion Stanley Ketchel challenges reigning world heavyweight champion Jack Johnson in Colma, California on October 16, 1909. According to a prefight rumor, the bout was supposedly rigged. According to those supposedly 'in the know' the fighters arranged for Johnson to 'carry' the overmatched Ketchel for 12 rounds for the sake of the movie cameras. However, Ketchel double-crossed Johnson by knocking him down in the 12th round. An enraged Johnson got up and...

Here's the intrduction from a 1980 episode of Real People--a popular NBC anthology show that ran for five years. Originally designed as a 'short-flight series' in the spring of 1979, it drew surprisingly strong ratings. Naturally NBC made it a regular prime-time show. Real People featured offbeat news stories and the exploits of eccentric folks shown to a live studio audience. The show had an overabundance of hosts. Among the regular hosts were Sarah Purcell, Byron Allen, John Barbour and Skip Stephenson. Real People finshed a strong 12th in overall TV ratings for the 1980-81 season. Its success spawned the very similar That's Incredible! on ABC. Here's a little-known fact: Richard Simmons was first widely exposed to American TV audiences on Real People.

This is a sad story: On March 24, 1962, Emile Griffith regained the world welterweight championship by knocking out Benny Paret in the 12th round of their title fight in Madison Square Garden. The fight ended with Paret absorbing numerous brutal shots to the head before referee Ruby Goldstein stopped the contest. Paret lapsed into a coma and died. Forty-three years later Paret's son, Benny Jr., meets Emile Griffith for the first time.
